"I don't have it, I just want to survive." Yang Chou let go of the hilt without haste, and did not draw out the long sword immediately. Only in this way can Zhang Yang hold his breath and listen to him, so that Zhang Yang doesn't know when he is about to die. Why die, die with regret.

"Actually, there is another way for us to survive the immediate crisis and continue to live, but you will never say it yourself. Because all this is because of you, as long as you die, the general will not I will be held accountable for the crime of rebellion. What's more, it is the time of the decisive battle. We rise up to help the general kill the rebels and cut off the retreat of the allies. This is a great achievement. Therefore, if you don't die, don't you Do you want tens of thousands of soldiers from Hanoi County to go to hell with you?"

After hearing Yang Chou's murderous words, Zhang Yang opened his eyes angrily, and said sadly with blood in his mouth: "Okay, good, good! Yang Chou, you listened, someone like you who kills the master and seeks glory, sooner or later There must be retribution; today I suffer a violent death, and you will be the same in the future! Puff"

Just when Zhang Yang uttered the last cruel words, Yang Chou pulled out his sword in a fit of embarrassment, and immediately Zhang Yang overturned the case and fell into a pool of blood.

Chapter 792 A Great Victory

Xi Yuyu!

Loudi was originally a large camp, with its gates wide open.

Amidst the neighing of the horses, the cavalry from each battalion that chased the defeated army returned to the camp one after another.

In just one day, the Allied battalion, which was originally sparsely populated, boiled again.

The tents are full of soldiers and horses, and there are tens of thousands of prisoners of war, which tends to be overcrowded.

The tent of the commander in chief of the Chinese army, which used to be the tent of Yuan Shao's leader, is luxuriously decorated and majestic, magnificent and majestic.

Now, everything here has been preserved intact, and it has become the temporary account of Xiliang Army coach Li Li.

At dawn yesterday, when Yuan Shao hurriedly led his troops to abandon the camp and flee, he ordered a group of more than [-] troops to burn down the commander's tent and all the food and supplies in the rear camp before fleeing the camp.Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuan Shao left, Xun Chen and Guo Tu, who managed to escape with their lives, entered the camp from the west gate, just missing Yuan Shao.Immediately, in order to protect themselves, the two of them stopped the soldiers from burning down the camp in time, thus keeping the whole camp intact.At the same time, while preventing the soldiers from burning the camp, the two of them took advantage of the situation to gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the camp who had not escaped, and temporarily took over the entire Allied camp.

Facts have proved that the hasty decision of Xun Chen and Guo Tu is indeed a wise move, and it is also the biggest reliance on saving their lives.If the big camp was completely burned down, or if the food and supplies of the rear camp were burned, then when the big camp was breached, it would be the time when the two of them lost their lives, and they would definitely not be spared.Once the food, grass and supplies that Li Li had placed high hopes on were burned, he would be furious, and all the captured Allied generals would be executed in a fit of rage.But Xun Chen and Guo Tu are the first to bear the brunt, and they will undoubtedly die.

However, Xun Chen and Guo Tu's impromptu action saved their lives virtually.When Li Li saw that the entire camp was intact.He smiled happily and was very happy, so they had decided to kill Guo Tu, but because Guo Tu took the initiative to open the city to ask for surrender and prevented the soldiers from burning the camp in time, he made a lenient punishment.

Afterwards, Guo Tu handed over to Guo Jia to handle it with full authority, and the details are unknown.All I know is that less than half an hour after the fall of the camp, Guo Tu hurriedly left from the east gate with dozens of trusted soldiers, and quickly disappeared from the sight of the Xiliang army.That is.Guo Jia secretly decided to let his clan brother Guo Tu go, and let him leave calmly with his cronies, followers and soldiers.

When Guo Tu and dozens of his own soldiers rode away, Li Li was on the east gate tower and witnessed this scene with his own eyes.But he turned a blind eye.Neither came forward to stop it.Afterwards, he did not specifically ask Guo Jia about the reason for this matter. He really handed over the matter to Guo Jia to handle it at his discretion. No matter what the result was, he would not ask.Li Zhi and Jia Xu, who followed him around, clicked their tongues in admiration for this kindness.

At noon yesterday, the Xiliang army completely took over the entire camp, and made a statistical record of all the money, food, supplies, and prisoners of war in the camp.Fazheng is fully responsible for this matter.It was not until the fourth watch of the night that all registrations were completed.Report it to Li Li immediately.

As Li Li's handsome case was piled up on the stacks of bamboo slips, and he flipped through them hastily at a glance, Li Li laughed heartily with relief.Everything was exactly as he had predicted in advance. The food, grass, and supplies required by the more than 4000 allied troops every month were more than three times the monthly expenditure of the Xiliang Army.Therefore, when Yuan Shao hurriedly abandoned the camp and fled, there was still a month and a half of food and grass stored in the camp, as well as enough ordnance and equipment to form a [-] infantry army.In addition, the rear camp also stocked a large amount of kerosene, catapults, chariots and harnesses, and more than [-] horses.And these seizures are equivalent to the expenditure of the Hanguguan army for a full three months, and the ordnance and supplies are equivalent to the sum of the losses of the Xiliang army in the battle of Sili.With such a huge capture, the Xiliang army can continue to fight for three months after a little rest.

It stands to reason that the allied army's troops and horses are only twice that of the Xiliang army, but the monthly expenditure of the allied army is three times that of the Xiliang army, or even higher;

Such a disparity is really puzzling at first glance, but once you really understand the distribution of food, grass and supplies of the Allied forces, you will no longer be surprised.

The Allies spent so much for three reasons.

First, the princes and generals of the Allied Army lived extravagantly and needed a huge amount of money and food every month.The number of concubines, dancers, maidservants and other female family members captured by the Xiliang army alone in the camp alone amounted to more than 200, which averaged out to all the princes and generals of the allied army. There are nine female relatives, and there are as few as ten or as many as nearly a hundred people in the tents of the princes from all walks of life.And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the extravagant life of the princes. In addition to the servants and maidservants, each prince also has a special catering team and servants. For example, there are more than 2 people in charge of Yuan Shao's meals and personal attendants. , and there are no less than one or two hundred servants of other princes from all walks of life.As the saying goes, if the princes are like this, the generals under their command are not fuel-efficient lamps. There are dozens of followers and miscellaneous servants behind each general's camp.Since then, there have been as many as [-] followers and handymen in the camp.

The reason is still the same sentence. The Eastern Han Dynasty was no different from other dynasties. The generals who went to the expedition would usually bring a few maidservants, servants and miscellaneous servants for emergency needs.Prior to this, the leading generals usually would not be too extravagant, so as not to disturb the morale of the army and affect morale, so they would be restrained, try to be as concealed as possible, and avoid being too conspicuous.

As early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the military discipline was strict, and the style of the generals who went out was also very strict. There were very few female family members in the army, and occasionally female family members stayed, and they had to get the emperor's permission.The same was true at the beginning of the Restoration of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with strict military management.It's a pity that with the turmoil in the court for the past hundred years, the army has also relaxed. There is a tendency to put swords and guns into the warehouse and release horses to the Nanshan Mountains.

Now the Han Dynasty is declining, the imperial power is falling, the world is in chaos, and all the heroes are rising together, which makes the leading generals act boldly and become more and more unruly.As a result, when going out to fight, it is not uncommon for the commanding generals to bring concubines, dancers and followers.As time goes by, it becomes commonplace, forming a normal state, everyone is the same, no one should gossip.

It can be seen from this that although the princes and generals of all walks of life lead troops to fight abroad, it does not prevent them from enjoying a luxurious life in the slightest.Therefore, it can be seen that the cost of money and food is huge.

Second, the army of princes this time was formed by the alliance of princes from all walks of life, and the money, food and supplies were distributed according to the amount reported by the princes from all walks of life, instead of unified dispatch and overall distribution.In this way, it is difficult to estimate how much water is in it. The money, food and luggage received every month must be just a lot, and it is better to have a surplus than not enough.

The third, and most important point, is that it is inevitable that the princes of all walks of life have their own ghosts, and it is inevitable to take advantage of the war to extort money, food, and military supplies.Just like Cao Cao and Sun Ce, they tried their best to recruit soldiers. Where did the money, food and weapons come from, they must be obtained from the treasury of the allied army, otherwise they would have no foundation, and how could they have leftover money, food and weapons to recruit soldiers? .

From this, it is not difficult to imagine why the Allied forces consumed a lot of money and food, and required a huge amount of armaments and supplies. With such a large army of mixed good and bad and self-seeking, even if they want to save money, it is wishful thinking, and it is completely impossible.Moreover, this is the result of the shortage of food and grass after the Feiyundu food and grass camp was attacked. Before that, the Allied forces needed more and suffered more serious losses.

Compared with the huge consumption of the princes and allies, the Xiliang army is not.First of all, the Xiliang Army is a complete army with unified orders, and there is no phenomenon of seeking personal gain or recruiting troops without authorization.Secondly, the entire army distributes money, food, and supplies in a unified manner, and arranges them as a whole, and increases or decreases as appropriate. There is no such thing as a shortage of money, food, or empty pay. , to tide over the difficulties.Finally, the military discipline of the Xiliang Army is strict. Except for the commander Li Li, all the other generals are not allowed to bring their female relatives into the barracks privately, and it is even more impossible for unrelated people such as retinues and miscellaneous servants to stay in the barracks.Moreover, there is also Jin Yiwei in the army who is responsible for supervising and inspecting each battalion, including the battalion commanders and generals, who must accept supervision and unconditionally implement military discipline and military orders.

Therefore, in the Xiliang Army, the battalion commanders are the role models for the soldiers. They must lead by example, strictly implement and abide by military discipline, and no one dares to deduct military pay or lack military supplies without authorization.At least so far, no general has dared to violate Li Li's military orders and commit crimes against the wind.The generals who were once suspected of wantonly extorting money and food, such as Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, have all died in battle one after another. Keep his name of loyalty and bravery, and then have a grand funeral, that's all.

Comparing the two, it is not difficult to see that the food, grass and supplies required by the Allied Army every month far exceed the consumption of the Xiliang Army.Therefore, the captured income of an allied army battalion is enough to tide over the difficulties of the Xiliang army, which is short of money and food. Although it only makes up for part of the consumption of the Sili's fierce battle, it can allow the army to recover in the shortest possible time , without the shortage of food and grass, you can still continue to fight.

In addition to seizing a large amount of food, grass and supplies, there were nearly 4000 prisoners in the Allied camp, including the aforementioned [-] female relatives and more than [-] servants. There were only more than [-] real prisoners of war. There were five thousand wounded soldiers.

Amidst the crisp sound of "da da" horseshoes, tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry came back after chasing them. All the soldiers returned with a full load. Prisoners of war, silks and satins, gold, silver and jade wares, and wagons of broken weapons drove into the gate one after another, waiting for the setting sun to approach. At the time of Xishan, all the battalions returned to the camp.

So far, the decisive battle of Loudiyuan, which lasted three days and two nights, came to an end and ended with a complete victory for the Xiliang army.

Life has to go on.

Chapter 793

Thanks: book friend kingleo monthly ticket support, thank you!

On the tower of the east gate of Daying, Li Li reappeared here after a day, leaning on the railing and looking far away, seemingly thinking.

However, today he didn't wear armor, but a brocade robe, and there was no murderous aura around him.

Standing at the east gate to watch the sunset might seem contrary to him, but Li Li seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. Perhaps only he himself could understand what the sunset on his back meant.

It was also early spring, and four years ago, he came to this chaotic era in the afterglow of the setting sun. At that time, he was seriously injured and was only 16 years old.However, fate reversed at that moment. The real "Li Li" lived a short life under serious injury, and his "Li Zhengfeng" took over for the rest of the long years.

This is a secret that he has sealed forever in his heart, and he is destined not to mention it to anyone in his life.Therefore, the afterglow of the setting sun on that day has a special meaning to him, enough to remember his whole life, and he will never forget it for a moment.

In the summer three years ago, under the setting sun, he led the Wuwei Army to a decisive battle with the Xiliang Army behind Dong Zhuo's death.It was a major battle destined to be recorded in history, if he can achieve supremacy in the future.The Battle of the Southern Suburbs was a major turning point in the situation of the entire world, it was also a rebirth of the Xiliang Army, and it was also the most important opportunity for Li Li's strong rise.That battle completely changed the trajectory of history, changed the fate of countless Xiliang soldiers, changed the fate of the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, and then changed the pattern of the world.Just like a lever prying the land of China, a pebble stirs up thousands of waves.The rise of a humble little man completely changed the fate of countless people, swept the entire turbulent world, and led the trend of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After a lapse of four full years.It was still the eternal setting sun, just as brilliant, as passionate, and as red as blood.The setting sun of the past and the setting sun of today have once again witnessed this unprecedented decisive battle with far-reaching influence, and witnessed the birth of a generation of overlords tempered by blood and fire.Rise strong amidst the numerous bones, move forward amidst the smoke of war, and reappear in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The decisive battle in Loudi.Undoubtedly, it is a crucial battle that determines the direction of the troubled times.No matter who wins or loses between the two sides in the battle, it will definitely change the pattern of the world, which is directly related to the future and destiny of the princes from all walks of life.

If the Allied forces win, the Xiliang Army, which was once powerful for a while, will become a fleeting catkin.Li Li, the number one overlord in the world, will be reduced to a dead bone in the tomb.Become a stepping stone for the new overlord, and add a bright halo of merit to the winner.Then, with the victory of the princes of the Central Plains, the chaotic world will become more chaotic, the flames of war will become more intense, the fighting will become more fierce, and the competition among the states in the Central Plains will become more intense.The people of the Central Plains will face the cruelest tempering.

After all, there are not a few allied princes.While sharing the fruits of victory, the struggle between them will definitely be accelerated. The resulting melee will have a wide range and fierce fighting, which will be no less than the Loudiyuan battle, or even worse.It is self-evident and conceivable what the result will be and what consequences will be caused.

On the contrary, if the Xiliang army wins, the situation in the Central Plains will be brought under control. Although the war is still unavoidable, the war will inevitably be limited to one state and one county, and a large-scale all-out war will not break out.Because the Xiliang army was on the sidelines, readying their troops and preparing their horses and horses, the defeated princes of the Central Plains had to be cautious and always be on guard against the Xiliang army's eastward march to crusade against the states in the Central Plains.Therefore, to a certain extent, the victory of the Xiliang army is more beneficial to the people of the Central Plains.Because the defeated princes are forced by the situation, they will not only work hard to govern, but also treat the people very kindly, so as to consolidate their foundation, so that they can resist the conquest of the Xiliang army and live longer.

In addition, after the victory of the Xiliang army, it will directly change the world structure, directly weaken some powerful princes, and give relatively weak princes the opportunity to reverse the situation. Liang Lili is the number one overlord, and the rankings of other princes will be overthrown and restarted.

Looking at the princes from all walks of life in the world, the powers of the princes who were originally ranked high, such as the second-ranked Jizhou Yuan Shao, the fourth-ranked Yanzhou Cao Cao, and the Wenhou Lu Bu who replaced Cao Cao, as well as the newly-emerged Xuzhou Liu Bei, will all rank lower in strength. fell sharply.Under the ebb and flow, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Yuan Shu of Yangzhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou will take their place and officially enter the top five.However, the position of number one overlord in the world still belongs to Xiliang Li Li, and the Xiliang army is the number one army in the world. Its strength and record are firmly at the top of the list, surpassing all the princes from all walks of life. A giant that can be shaken by humans.

This is not a simple ranking order, because each ranking represents a huge gap in strength, which directly affects the selection orientation of scholars and generals in the world, as well as the objects of gentry clans and tyrants.The princes with the highest strength will definitely attract more literati and military generals to come to serve, and will also receive funding and support from more gentry clans and powerful forces.However, the princes who rank lower in strength are very likely to face the embarrassing situation that no one cares about them, and no one will vote.In this way, it will naturally form a situation in which the strong are stronger and the weak are weaker, which will then promote the pace of annexation of weak forces among the princes, intensify the evolution of troubled times, and lay the foundation for the future.

At the same time, the battle of Loudiyuan has one thing in common for both parties in the decisive battle, that is, no matter who wins or loses, it will aggravate the demise of the Liu Dynasty.For such a large-scale decisive battle, the more people there are and the more intense the fighting, the greater the influence it will cause. This means that the trampling on the Liu family's imperial power will be more serious and fierce, completely ignoring the existence of the emperor's imperial power, and greatly weakening The emperor's prestige was destroyed, and the broken ship of the Liu Dynasty was quickly destroyed.
